yeah it was a great weekend . i laughed till it hurt, drank and ate far too much for one person, and am sad that its all over so quickly. i would like to thank all the turtlespeeders that helped to make my weekend what it was. the zephyr is washed and polished and away in the garage, the tent and sleeping bag are away in the loft and i am in detox. it was good to meet you at the foodstalls on saturday night mandi, loved your little'uns tot zephyr. it was good to see shrek out and about enjoying himself it was good fun giving matt a right ribbing but i want to promise him it will be someone elses turn next time . looking forward to seeing everyones photos and comments see you soon guys
We had a great time too, nice to catch up with everyone and to see so many nice cars.
Ed kindly took a few better photo's of the gasser line up. For some strange reason Digger wouldn't let him stand on the top of the Thames.
Lucky old Tootall even got to drive Honky Tonk later on Sunday evening, which now belongs to the lovely Lou who brought our Fairlane down to Ipswich from Plymouth back in 2007.
We can't make the Rock N Soul weekend as it clashes with Humber club pub meet and school sleepover.

had a great time pitty it went so quick. bit disapointed in the entertainment and food stalls though, anyway started to think on plans for next years turtle bar.
Had a fantastic time and ate and drank far too much but it was a pleasure doing so! good to catch up with you lot as well and to finally meet Mandi. I agree with Dell about the evening entertainment, someone needs to seriously sort out some better bands next year! Was impressed with the food stalls this year, they were a big improvement on last year. Fanks to Steve Apache for picking up my jacket that i had left in the barn sunday night. Some advice for Duds - you gotta get some drinking practice in next year!! haha Some words from the weekend;- Satchell Playground Wireless Hair clips compartment Duffel coat Sponge Beer Matt
Well done to AHRA for their special award Roll on next year wahoo! I'll stick some pics up a little later

yep, another one here praising the success of the nats. poodeling(ish) around on the bike, making as much noise as possible. to be honest, i wasnt so impressed with the food stalls. there wasnt enough selection for me.. i went down there to get some food... came back with a milkshake..
biggest moan about it though.... i got told to not ride my bike any more. as it wasnt taxed, tested and insured... but i think the other half was greatfull. the mudguard aint all that forgiving to her arse! haha. was good to catch up with ya Fi. saw the rest of ya at one stage or another...
oh and sorry if i deafened you lot as i revved as i went past...
Agree with all the above.........Seemed to go so quickly this year!!! As always its the people you are with that make it. I hope the NAts virgins, Paul, Steve and Claudine enjoyed themselves.
I would also like to thank everyone that helped decorate the bar for Ians 'stag do', it was very much appreciated.
Sorry that Jo hurt her back and had to go home early.....we all want to know what Jo and Mark were doing every night for her back to go!!!
Nice to see Simon and Claire camping with us and to Scotty who only seems to appear once a year but is always welcome.
And as always, thanks to bod, Dell and Chucky for building the bar and keeping us entertained.
Thanks to all the turtlespeeders and AHRA not mentioned above for making this years NATS what it was!
had the most amizing time of my life and its thanks to all you guys and gals, big thank you to Matt for taking all the heat ,im sure im in for it next year mate.drinking not my forta but i,ll try and keep up next time. i think chucky and bod should do a stand up double act at the comedy club, you guys crack me up. been wanting to do this since i was 18 and now i cant get enough of it. yes a pity its over till next year ,but i need a year to recover lol. glad ian liked his do and it must be hard being hung like a stalion lol.sorting out pics and deciding what to put on and what i should leave out(the doll pics chucky and bod lol lol)well ive got some more ideas for the trumpet and thank you luka for keeping on at me to take off my silencers VROOOOOM.and i was worred the car would be too loud lol.

but we also owe you mr poular and shrek a big thank you for starting turtlespeed, if not we would be camping all over the place, and not having the fun that we had at the nats, thanks.
We had a great time, cant beleive it went so fast, brilliant camp this year us all together. with the Nats virgins too, good to see they really enjoyed themselves.
Although things were quieter for us, I would like to thank you for your understanding and the support you have shown us. Ian was overwhelmed by the thoughts, effort and time you gave him for his little surprise it meant so much to him. what a great bunch of mates, a big thank you from me too.

What a great weekend soo nice to see so many of us there! Just a shame it went so fast, I'll try and get my Face book photos of the Nats on here asap but other things keep comeing up. Also sry to hear about your eye Cudley hope it gets better soon bud!
can someone explain to me why there is a picture of nessie holding the turtlepeed banner? this plank has nothing to do with turtlespeed surely he should be in portugal searching for the chosen one. Having an unhealthy interest in other peoples children is not right, get a life nessie you saddo.
The Nats virgins had a great time, shame it was all over so quick, got some good advice from Bod and Chucky about getting in to training a week before, I agree with you Cudley they should do a double act.
Thank You Everyone
